3rd in a life time trip

Hi, This time last year I was on here A LOT mostly reading but sometimes posting. We had a countdown of 14 days at this point last year!

After the holiday I had a serious case of post Disney blues plus a couple of weeks later my Grandma died. So I stopped visiting it made me too sad.

But about a month ago I got a new countdown! We are very excited for about 20 hours then we had another massive family crisis which totally took the sheen off.

Anyway enough about that..

Things are smoothing out now and time to get on with the planning.

This is the plan so far
I have booked flights and accommodation with Virgin. We haven't used Virgin before so any tips would be great.
We are staying at Enclave Suites on I Drive.
This is supposed to be a budget trip and I have agreed that we probably wont do Disney as we've done it twice before. The probably is the most important word in the sentence.

What we are planning is universal with a stay at HRH
Discovery Cove
Sea World
and my husband is hoping to do the space centre.

While I am watching the timer tick down I am working on saving £ and loosing Lbs for this trip!

We go a similar time to you next year but ours is a 2nd once in a lifetime trip lol not third like yours we are planning on doing similar things as last time it was just Disney, this time we want to explore the other parks. Well be staying on international drive at rosen inn @ pointe.
So I may well pop back here and check things out if okay lol.
Happy holidays here's hoping the time travels quickly for both of us.
PS I'm working on the spends and the lbs too lol x

Yeah I've been...lost count actually...about 11 times and the 6th time was 'the last time'
Actually my mom just said yesterday "this will be my last trip" and I had to remind her that she's said that already 4 years running...

Our first time was meant to be the only time, while there we realised we'd be back. This will be our 8th trip in 9 years and me and DH managed to convince each other to buy DVC last time so now we have to go back. Not that you'll hear me complaining.
